Send us a text Welcome to the Narrative Series, a poetic frame exploring the father's perspective of pregnancy and pregnancy loss experience. Often times during a bereavement, the dad's experience of loss is drastically different than that of the mother. A study titled, “ Men’s grief following pregnancy loss and neonatal loss: a systematic review and emerging theoretical model ” published in January 2020 found, “… that in comparison to women, men may face different challenges including expectations to support female partners, and a lack of social recognition for their grief and subsequent needs. Men may face double-disenfranchised grief in relation to the pregnancy/neonatal loss experience .” The Journal of Neonatal Nursing (vol 29, Issue 3) published another study June 2023 titled “ Father’s Perception of the NICU Experience ” which states that: “ Research has revealed that more than 50% of NICU fathers experience feelings of inadequate emotional support and a lack of essential information regarding caring for their premature infants. Fathers reported that frequently, healthcare workers tend to approach the mother when discussing prognosis and determining medical decisions, which makes the fathers feel like an observer and not an active participant in their infant's care. These experiences caused the fathers to feel helpless, in the way, and excluded, which can add to the father's distress .” Overall, these studies only begin to scratch the surface of the multifaceted issues complicating fathers' disenfranchisement in hospital settings and during a bereavements.

We promise you'll gain a deeper understanding of the emotional and societal challenges surrounding pregnancy and infant loss, and how acknowledging these experiences can foster a sense of belonging among men who have felt isolated in their grief. Imagine facing a loss often shrouded in silence and stigma, yet finding strength in shared stories and community. Our discussion contrasts the visibility of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month with more recognized causes, emphasizing the critical need for empathy and dialogue. Through personal anecdotes and societal observations, we challenge the silence that surrounds miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. We aim to create a supportive and informed space that encourages healing and understanding, breaking down barriers that have kept these topics in the shadows for far too long. We also tackle the complexities surrounding miscarriage in today's political landscape. From the emotional turmoil of spontaneous miscarriages to the nuances of healthcare access across state lines, we discuss the urgent need for comprehensive women's healthcare rights. By addressing misconceptions and encouraging open, empathetic dialogue, we hope to empower individuals navigating family planning amid uncertainties.

Osei's candid revelations highlight the often-silent struggle men endure and the necessity of creating spaces where they can express their grief and support their partners through these difficult times.

Send us a text Welcome to episode 31! Have you ever felt the weight of a loss that the people around you don't fully recognize? In this episode, Chris and Kelly unearth the complexities of ambiguous loss from their limited understanding of the category. Inspired by Pauline Boss's powerful insights from " Ambiguous Loss: Learning to Live with Unresolved Grief " and Rich Oswald's " Unnamed Pain: Coping with Ambiguous Loss ", this episode sheds light on the unique grief fathers face following a miscarriage—a grief that often remains unacknowledged and unresolved. Our conversation dives deep into the societal shortcomings that leave grieving fathers without the support they need. Miscarriage disrupts the traditional grieving process, lacking the usual rituals and communal recognition that help in processing loss. Together, we discuss how crucial it is to validate this type of grief and offer practical ways for friends, family, and colleagues to provide meaningful support. From naming the lost child to creating personal rituals, we explore ways to bring comfort and closure to those affected. Finally, we focus on the importance of community and professional support for grieving fathers. From grief counselors to support groups, we highlight resources that can provide the much-needed validation and understanding. Non-linear grieving is emphasized, reminding us that healing doesn't follow a set path. By sharing coping strategies and personal reflections, we aim to create a safe space where fathers can find solace and support. Tune in for heartfelt advice and practical suggestions on navigating this profound loss, and learn how to better support fathers through their journey of grief.

Send us a text Welcome to episode 23! Navigating Father’s Day after experiencing a miscarriage is a journey fraught with complex emotions. Imagine the heartache of balancing the joy of being a present father with the sorrow of losing a child, or the agony of wishing someone a "Happy Father's Day" as you're struggling to become a father. Chris and I share our stories, contrasting the grief we felt before and after welcoming our living children. We provide a candid look at the struggle of facing Father’s Day, hoping to normalize these feelings and offer a supportive space for other dads in similar situations. The episode doesn't shy away from the feeling of emptiness and fraudulence that can accompany a miscarriage, particularly on days meant for celebration. We discuss how societal expectations of happiness often clash with personal grief, leading to feelings of guilt and helplessness. One father’s story of losing his newborn to an unforeseen infection highlights the innate responsibility fathers feel to protect their children, and the heartbreak when they cannot, despite their best efforts. Our conversation underscores the importance of acknowledging and validating these emotions. We close with an emphasis on the enduring aspects of fatherhood that persist even in the absence of a child. Through heartfelt anecdotes, we explore love, memories, and dreams tied to our lost children, and encourage grieving fathers to honor their memories. Healing is a personal journey, and it’s essential to recognize that despite the physical absence, the bond between a father and his child remains unbroken. Join us as we validate these emotions and affirm the lasting connection shared with our children, living or not. Thank you for tuning in to find solace, gain understanding, and embark on your healing journey with us!

Send us a text Welcome to this mid-week episode! As we're inching closer to Father's Day (Sunday, June 16, 2024), I thought it would be helpful to address the elephant in the room when it comes to our experience as loss dads. Here are some tips to implement: 1. Keep an open mind. The story you're creating in your head about how the day will turn out is simply a narrative you're creating in your head. The actual day may turn out to be just fine. 2. Allow yourself to feel what you're feeling in the moment on Father's Day, whatever those emotions may be. 3. Be honest with yourself and those around you, and make your feelings known. I hope these tips are helpful.

Send us a text Welcome to episode 20! When hope seems a distant memory and the journey to parenthood is shadowed by infertility, the story of one man's unexpected path to fatherhood emanates like a beacon of resilience. Tom Kreffer, a UK author and father, joins me to relay his deeply personal experience—from penning letters to an unborn child to embracing the surprise of natural conception. His narrative, set against the stark reality of a nearly zero chance diagnosis, speaks to the heart of every listener grappling with similar adversities and the quest for family. The profound transformation from wanderlust-filled adventures to the anchored responsibilities of parenting is a tale that resonates deeply. Tom's memoirs, which began as cathartic journals, have become a testament to the power of writing through life's tempests. Our conversation traverses the emotional landscape of secondary infertility, the societal stigmas faced, and the delicate balance of cherishing the present while yearning for more. Tom's journey, reflective and enlightening, offers an intimate glimpse into the less-discussed male perspective on infertility and its impact on identity, relationships, and dreams of legacy. This episode is a mosaic of shared experiences, from navigating the complexities of the UK's healthcare system post-COVID to the emotional resilience required when expanding a family remains an elusive dream. Tom's interaction with other couples at baby shows underscores the silent struggle many endure, while his books provide solace to women and men alike, seeking to comprehend and share in this deeply human experience. Tune in for an exploration of the emotional support necessary for men and the vital understanding that each journey through grief and infertility is as unique as the individuals who tread these paths.

Send us a text Welcome to episode 19! In our latest episode, we open the doors to the silent grief that men endure. The conversation moves beyond the physical absence of a child never held to explore the emotional chasm left behind, and how the lack of traditional mourning markers can render the pain invisible. The dialogue stretches into the significant role of emotional intelligence as we, as fathers, share how we form an abstract connection with the unborn. Tokens like a pregnancy test become symbolic relics, carrying the weight of dreams unfulfilled. Our discussion is a raw look at the identity transformation that starts with the anticipation of fatherhood, the struggle to articulate the loss without physical anchors, and the search for solace in a world that sometimes forgets the father's pain. In closing, we not only acknowledge but also embrace the idea that love does not dissipate with loss—it merely changes shape. We examine the potential for growth in the face of static love, and the empowerment found in channeling this love into parenting, creative endeavors, and life itself. This episode isn't merely an exchange of experiences; it's a testament to the enduring power of love and the resilience of a father's spirit in the aftermath of miscarriage.

Our latest episode welcomes Liz, a courageous mother, who recounts the heartrending story of her daughter Aaliyah's stillbirth. Through her raw vulnerability, we tackle the complex layers of grief and the importance of nurturing conversations about pregnancy loss, particularly for fathers. Liz's poignant narrative confronts the myths surrounding the 'safe zone' of pregnancy and exposes the dire state of maternal healthcare practices in the United States. The journey through loss is fraught with challenges that test the very fabric of our being. This conversation is a call to arms for more sensitive workplace policies and societal understanding, paving the way for legislative reform that honors the depth of parental bereavement. Together, we highlight the necessity of compassionate communication and the power of advocacy in healing wounds that are often unseen but deeply felt. In the throes of sorrow, there lies a resilience that binds us and propels us forward. In sharing the evolution of the nonprofit, Aaliyah in Action, we cast a light on the transformative power of channeling grief into purposeful action. The episode is a testimony to the strength found in solidarity and the creation of legacies that keep our children's memories alive.

Send us a text Welcome to episode 16! When we find ourselves grappling with loss, the journey can be isolating and profound. Mary, a school psychologist and mother who has endured the heartache of losing her son, joins me to share her intimate experience with miscarriage, a chemical pregnancy, and stillbirth. Her poignant narrative reveals not only her personal anguish but also the broader issue of how religious platitudes can sometimes deepen the wounds of the grieving. Through her story, we uncover the delicate balance between faith, mourning, and the true meaning of support. This episode takes an unflinching look at the impact of religious clichés when comforting the bereaved. We discuss the often-unintended consequences of saying things like "God won't give you more than you can handle," dissecting why such expressions, though well-intentioned, can fail those in their darkest hours. Mary's reflections guide us through her spiritual journey and the importance of authentic, empathetic companionship over theological commentary. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how to navigate the intersection of grief and religion with sensitivity and respect. Mary's courage in recounting her journey is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring love of a parent. Her dedication to her church's children ministry and her work with children are a beautiful homage to her son’s legacy, inspiring us all to channel our deepest sorrows into acts of kindness and service. Join us as we explore how love and purpose can emerge triumphantly from the depths of despair. Thank you for tuning in to find solace, gain understanding, and embark on your healing journey with us!

Send us a text Welcome to episode 15! As we sit down to share our journey through the heartache of miscarriage, my co-host Chris and I understand the profound spiritual crisis such a loss can ignite. Struggling with doubts and grief, we explore the turbulence in our faith, the questions that haunt us, and the stories that bind us together in our collective search for understanding. We've walked through the fire of losing what we held most dear and come out on the other side with a need to speak on the often-silenced sorrow that shrouds the topic within church halls. Throughout the discussion, we peel back the layers of theological concepts that can seem like a lifeline but may also feel like salt in an open wound during times of crisis. Confronting the paradox of a compassionate deity overseeing a world filled with such personal tragedies, we engage in raw, unfiltered conversations about the nature of God's plan and our place within it. These dialogues serve not only as a catharsis but also as a bridge to connect with others who've faced similar trials, creating a sanctuary of empathy and shared understanding. The series concludes with a reflection on the arduous path of grief and the tentative steps toward recovery after miscarriage. We extend a heartfelt thank you to our listeners for joining us on this deeply personal expedition. In solidarity, we offer comfort to others walking this road and reaffirm the significance of community support, the relief in knowing you are not journeying alone, and the courage it takes to share your own story.

That's the big question we tackle in our latest episode, joined by the insightful Scott Jensen. In a culture that too often equates masculinity with stoicism, we explore the deep, hidden emotions that men grapple with, specifically in the context of early miscarriage—a poignant loss that society doesn't often pause enough to acknowledge. As we traverse the less-charted territory of men's grief, we highlight parts of our respective personal journeys, shedding light on the nuances of their emotional roller coaster, and the disconnect many men feel when societal expectations clash with their reality. We discuss the necessity of having supportive environments in which men can safely express their feelings without fear of judgement. We also delve into how societal norms about masculinity can create barriers to emotional expression, and the urgent need for these constructs to be redefined. In the final part of our discussion, we confront the pervasive issue of toxic masculinity, and its detrimental impact on men’s relationships and emotional wellbeing. Using our own experiences as a compass, we lay bare the potential for connection that lies in the power of vulnerability, and the crucial role authenticity plays in fostering these connections. In a world that's slowly becoming more open to conversations about mental health, our hope is that this episode sparks more dialogues about men's grief and the need to create safe spaces for these conversations.

Together with Chris, we dive into the very personal stories of our early pregnancy losses and the profound effect they had on us as fathers. Our conversation takes an emotional turn as we reminisce about the heart-wrenching moments of our miscarriages, the isolation that fatherhood can bring in these situations, and the societal expectations that shape our response to such a tragic event. As fathers, we experienced the pain of not just losing a child but also being sidelined from the grieving process. We discuss the anguish of being unable to protect and provide in the face of such a tragedy, the guilt associated with these traditional roles, and the emotional attachment we had for our unborn child. We delve into the emotions and feelings that arise in fathers when they feel helpless, emphasizing on the importance of normalizing the conversation around the impact on fathers and how this can be an opportunity to redefine the traditional roles of fathers. Our chat goes beyond sharing our personal experiences. We reflect on the importance of a robust support system for fathers too, highlighting the value of creating safe spaces for men to express their grief and find solace in shared experiences. We invite you to join us in this conversation, share your stories, and let others know they are not alone. After all, your story matters, and we are here to listen.
